Finally time to release the “Lost in Time” shawl pattern. The name came to me becouse of the vintage feeling it has and also that the time flies by working on this shawl 🙂 This pattern is a repetition of 12 rows which means you can use any yarn or hook and customizing your shawls size by the number of repetitions.

This shawl is made of bits and pieces of Scheepjes Catona, a 1oo % cotton yarn, and hook 4.0 mm. The size is aprox 145 cm wing span and 75 cm over the spine, tassels not included. The total amount of yarn is between 6 and 7 skeins of Catona 50 g. For this multi coloured version use the color guide at the bottom of this page.

This beautiful Lost in Time shawl is made by Charlotta Hjortbacken (@charlottahjortbacken on Instagram) with 6 skeins of Scheepjes Secret Garden and hook 5.0 mm. The size is aprox 135 cm wing span and 68 cm over the spine.

This sunny and beautiful Lost in Time shawl is made by Lisa Cook (@lisasattik on Instagram) with 6 skeins of Scheepjes Sunkissed colour 0015 and hook 4.0 mm. This 100% cotton yarn with smooth colour fluctuations is perfect for a spring or summer shawl.

Hi! I’ve been waiting to do this for a long time! Absolutely beautiful, however I’m stuck with row 13, the stitch when I do it as a fp dc makes the previous stitch look just longer, it looks in the picture below, that it was done in third loop?! And when I do the next row, the popcorn end up in the back of the shawl?

Hello, love this pattern “lost in time” thank you for sharing it. I just received my yarn today and started working on it. When I get to row10 the popcorns are on the wrong side of the shawl but I noticed on your diagram pictures that there is a sc row between row9 and row10 in a light greenish color in the photos on pg6 above row12 in the English pdf version of your pattern. Am I seeing this correctly? Would you be so kind as to explain my next step after row 9 to get my popcorns on the right side of the pattern. Your generosity in sharing your beautifully created pattern is so greatly appreciated by me. I came of age in the “70’s” and this pattern literally had me “lost in time” in my thoughts of those years.
Thank You
Marsha

Hi,
Yes, the picture is taken at the next repetition so there should not be an extra sc row after row 9. The popcorns should pop out at the side facing you when making row 10.
Im very glad you like my pattern. I hope this helps, othetwise just write again 🙂

Your design is so beautiful! I would like to make a scarf out of this pattern if it is possible. Do you have any suggestions on how to customize this pattern to be a straight scarf? Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thank you.

Hello Johanna, I just finished Lost In Time — shawl with 3 repeats yesterday! Thank you so much for the creativity, talent and time shared for making this pattern. I got so attached to it, guess i have to make a new one again!. Thank you so much for sharing!

Hello, thanks for sharing you beautiful pattern, I have had lots of fun making the lost in time scarf. Would it be alright to sell the physical scarf I made with your pattern, with full credit to you for the design?

Hello! I finally decided to start your marvelous shawl, but I have a doubt: how to change the colours. At the end of a row, should i cut off the yarn and make a slip stitch with the next colour? Or there is another way to make the change better?
Thank you for your time, and sorry for my awfull english.

Hi there, thanks for this beautiful pattern. In row 13 I also have 46 instead of 47. I count row 12 and that is correctly done. 5 groups of 8 st. Can you please help me?

Oh and the diagram I respond with earlier there is a diagram 1, 2, 3 and 4 . Then you have the complete lost in time in diagram. It’s in Dutch. ‘Toeren’ means rows. Is this aloud that I put it here? It’s not my diagram. But I saw some people asking for it.

Hi Johanna, thanks for your respons 🙂 oh I thought that it was communicated with you. I didn’t make it, just so you know. But I do love your pattern so much! I thought ‘wow so artsy, did I just make this’? So thanks a lot again.
Ps I’m in row 36 now, so much fun!

Hello! I just finished your Lost in Time shawl and I loved every moment of it! Thank you for sharing your beautiful patterns! I can’t wait to start the Secret Paths shawl. I was wondering how long of a card board you used to wrap the yarn for the tassels? Also, are we allowed to sell the finished products? I ask only because I have received so many compliments on it and I’m being asked if I’m going to be selling them in my ETSY shop. (Of course, this will only happen with your permission.) Either way I will continue making them for my personal use and gifts and I can’t wait to show pics of my finished products. 🙂

What a beautiful pattern! I am currently on my 3rd shawl. Yes 3 I love it so much. But this time I have decided to go with the colors you have listed and keep it for myself. It’s magnificent. I would like to make it bigger and go past row 50. Any suggestions on how you would put the colors together for another round or two of rows 15 through 26? Thank you

I am currently making this shawl with a long striping cake. Everyone at the LYS is completely in love with this pattern. Some of the staunch knitters are now wanting to learn crochet so they can make this too. Thank you for sharing it.

Just starting the pattern and looking forward to completing this beautiful shawl. Is it possible to obtain the stitch count for the rows after row 26? I am counting after each row to make sure I have the correct number of stitches. Thank you for this exquisite pattern.

Hi and thank you! 🙂 In my FB group there are stitch counts in the files section for both LiT and Secret Paths that the members have made. You are most welcome to join us 🤗 The group is called Mijo Crochet Hangout.

I made this shawl using a Lion Brand Ombre Life at it came out absolutely beautiful! I found the pattern fairly easy to follow (after making sure I read the instructions a few times – but that’s just ME 😉 ). But I was really intrigued by the intricate details of the stitches in the photos so I purchased the Scheepjes Catona in the colorways outlined in the multi-color guide. However, I AM noticing ‘discrepancies’ between the colors depicted in the photos for a given row (in the English version) and the colors as indicated in the color guide. I’m HOPING that this is just a matter of the pictures being more of an illustration of how the pattern should ‘look’ for any given row and not an exact representation of the color for that row. For example, the illustration for Row 6 depicts a row of ‘amber’ colored double crochets upon what appears to be either a ‘blue’ (or possibly green) colored row of single crochets from row 5. ExCEPT that the color guide lists row 5 as 179 – Topaz and row 6 as 383 – Ginger Gold. I just want to make sure I am following the color guide correctly. Thank you VERY much for SUCH a beautiful design!!

Hello. I have taken the plunge…. Made a start on the shawl which I absolutely love. I bought scheepjes whirl but it is one ball with colours changing through. It starts with the brown and then goes to green. I want to have brown tassels. How much yarn should I keep for that. 3 tassels. S I have never done it before I cnt work out what size they should be. Thank you so much for replying and super well done for your design

Hello again, Johanna. Emailed earlier question on number of stitches for rows past row 26. Unfortunately (for me) I do not belong to Facebook and I do not want to join Facebook. I have attempted to work out the increases on the rows from 15 to 26 as follows – 20 increases each row for rows 15 to 21 (for instance, Row 15 would be 27 ch -1 groups; Row 27 – 47 ch-1 groups; Row 39 – 67 ch -1 groups). For rows 22 and 23 – increase of 10. For row 24 – increase of 5 groups of 8 for each repeat. For row 25 – increase of 40 dc for each repeat. For row 26 – increase of 5 popcorns for each repeat. Have I worked this out correctly? This is such a beautiful shawl that I would like to do it properly. Thank you for your time and assistance.

The only question I have is, at the bottom of your blogpost are the weights used the total amounts use for the shawl? It’s such a beautiful shawl I’m looking forward to making it but I want to make sure I buy all the yardage I need of each color before I begin it.

Lion brand, Landscapes yarn is the absolute best yarn to use for this shawl. The striping is perfect to appear as tho each row is a different color. The colors are amazing. Looks very regal. No need to change colors.

Hi,
Im happy to hear that you are recovering.
I dont have any video tutorials. But I host a FB group where you can get help and support when using my patterns. Its called Mijo Crochet Hangout.
Kind regards,
Johanna
